The GoFundMe platform has stopped collecting in support of Tornado Cash
On February 14, the GoFundMe crowdfunding platform canceled fundraising to cover legal costs in the case of the Tornado Cash cryptocurrency mixer. All deposited assets will be returned to the donors.
The money we sent to @rstormsf was cancelled by @gofundme - they shut it down.

I thought this might happen but am still surprised.
Good thing we have an uncensorable money system so we can still fund civil liberties like the right to a fair trial.

GoFundMe cited a violation of the terms of service prohibiting fundraising if it could "expose the platform, its employees or users to any harm or incur liability for them." All money received as part of the campaign will be returned to the donors' bank accounts within three to seven business days.
Ryan Adams of Bankless Ventures, one of the donors, intends to re-send Tornado Cash developers $10,000 in cryptocurrency.
"It's good that we have an uncensored monetary system, so we can still fund civil liberties like the right to a fair trial," he wrote.
In total, $30,000 was sent to support the mixer on GoFundMe. Now the collection of donations has been transferred to the JuiceBox platform, where the amount of donations has reached 316.75 ETH (~$890,000 at the time of writing).
